Veins are tremendously important to the proper functioning of the body. But vascular problems are tremendously common. Some of these problems can cause cosmetic issues, including discoloration and aging-related damage, while others can lead to chronic discomfort and pain. Dr. Malvehy and the Miami Beach Vein Institute can help you find a personalized solution to whatever vein-related issues you are facing.

Some of the numerous problems Dr. Malvehy can help you treat include:

Blue Breast Veins After pregnancy or breast augmentation, many women report an increase in the number of visible, prominent blue veins. This is a result of the fact that pregnancy and breast implantation can change the skin tone around the breast, as well as increase blood flow. Generally, prominent breast veins that result from pregnancy tend to disappear once the patient stops breastfeeding her child, while veins that become prominent after a breast implant do not disappear unless they are taken care of in the first six months following the implantation.

At the Miami Beach Vein Institute, prominent breast veins are treated with a small injection of Asclera, an FDA-approved medication that facilitates the vein’s absorption by the body. The procedure takes 15 to 30 minutes, can be performed in our offices, and requires no downtime.

Facial Veins Laser vein treatment is often considered the only answer to problems arising from facial veins, such as rosacea. While laser vein treatment can work for some, it can lead to painful side effects, including surface skin burns, and generally requires 2 to 3 separate treatment sessions. Fortunately, Dr. Malvehy and the Miami Beach Vein Institute are proud to offer a revolutionary alternative, VeinWave. VeinWave targets the affected veins with much greater accuracy than laser vein treatment can by delivering a micro-burst of energy directly into the blood vessel. The procedure is virtually painless, only takes 20 to 30 minutes, and requires no downtime.

The Miami Beach Vein Institute is proud to be the only center in the entire Miami Beach area, and one of the few in Florida, which offers VeinWave treatment.

Bulging Hand VeinsWhether or not you are aware, the way someone’s hands appear can unconsciously tell you a lot about their age. Since we lose fat on the backs of our hands as we age, hand veins become more apparent as we get older. While cosmetic medicine has made great strides in terms of treating signs of aging in the face, with treatments like Botox and facelifts becoming widespread, Dr. Malvehy is among the few vein doctors in the Miami area on the cutting edge of hand vein treatment.

At the Miami Beach Vein Institute, hand vein treatment generally proceeds through a combination of FDA-approved injections and removal through tiny incisions. This is safer and longer-lasting than commonly prescribed injections like Juvederm and Restylane, which work well for the face but require frequent reapplication. Our methods require no downtime, though generally patients are asked to wear a specially fitted glove for a few days following treatment.

Since there is a such a wide variety of leg vein problems, there are a number of treatment possibilities, from endovenous laser ablation, minimally invasive surgery, foam sclerotherapy, phlebectomy, and more.
